• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Snow ride

Nice pics again from the PNW! ... That snow and limited visibility really adds a new dimension to the riding AND I know the days are getting short out there so the light cuts out early ESP with all those huge trees ...
 
Snow riding is a blast. We do it at the beginning and end of the season. Once the ground freezes there is no traction so it is time to go skiing. I also elect not to use studs. Spring snow is my favorite, soft and mushy and the ground beneath has traction. Here's a couple of old pics. Cam.creek crossing.jpg _0018s.jpgMe & KX in SnowS.JPG

Same as always, Mobile Delo 1300 for me. Not really, just ride. I usually let some air out of the tires and run about 3-5 less than usual as the speeds will be slower and need the traction. Grip heaters are wonderful. Studs are nice. Ride.

Thanks Motosportz. That's good to know.

I'm not familiar with the Mobile Delo 1300. I did a brief look through the forums, is that the Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15W-40?

Any idea if there is enough power off the stock stator to run grip heaters on a 2010 TE510? It would be a nice to have for those less than ideal days, let-alone a wintery ride.

By the way, nice pics guys. :)
 
I did a little Christmas Eve Day snow ride today. I run screws this time of year, as there is lots of ice to put you on your butt! It was super windy yesterday so conditions went from bare ice to 3' + were it drifts (managed to bury it in a 3' drift). We have a lot of single track, that's in hedgerows between fields and they are great snow fences! Lean back and stay on the power! I need a video camera too!

Do they still do the ice races on Cayuta Lake just south of Mecklenburg?
 
Guys still ride on "Little Lake". It's more like a scrimmage than a race. I sold my '89 RM 250 ice bike a few years ago, to buy a snowmobile, but may set my '93 WXC350 up for the ice and start riding again. Snowmobile trail runs across the lake, right by the track, so I see the crew now and then. Hasn't been consistently cold enough yet this year, for good ice yet. Good fun!
